This quilt is a design called Pineapple, which is a variation of
the popular Log Cabin design.
Log cabin quilts are one of the oldest patchwork patterns in the
United States. Traditionally the center square was red representing
the chimney or hearth of the house. Log cabin blocks offered the
quilter a way to use scrap fabrics to create a block often using
dark and light color fabrics. Light fabrics are on one side of the
center square for the sunny side of the house and dark fabrics on
the opposite side for the shady side of the house.
The heydey of the Log Cabin in this country was in the third and
fourth quarters of the 19th Century, corresponding to the
widespread trek Westward after the Civil War, so the
"little-house-on-the-Prairie" figure fits nicely.
The graphic Pineapple Log Cabin design, is a classic log cabin with
strips laid on the diagonals in addition to those on the horizontal
and vertical planes. It too derives its design from the placement
of dark and light values
Plenty of parking is available near the cache in the parking lot
of the UK Hardin County Cooperative Extension Service
Building.
